For those of you who have never crossed a border before (I know I was one of those people) it can seem like a strange time, and something possibly horrible could take place. Your mind tends to go to the worst places, searching your belongings, interrogation about your whereabouts, and billions upon billions of pieces of paperwork that you have to have. Well, fortunately border crossing is not like TSA and really they only care about whether or not your passport is real. Border crossing was quick and painless, and I will be the first to tell you they are some of the nicest people!
So far as I can tell Canadians are some of the kindest people I have ever encountered, and helpful!
No spoilers, but let me tell you this: Canada is lovely.
If you are tuning in and you know me already then you know that my last blog is no more, it became less about the travels and more about social politics, so I am transitioning to a new place and a new frame of mind. Let us take this trip (and all future trips) together!
I'll find all the hidden gems that the travel channel doesn't tell you about.

Origins of a name
You know how there is that one thing that sticks with you from the first moment you hear it?
Well, a year ago, during our D&D campaign our DM had provided us with these rings, that should we be in danger and we needed to go to where another party member was, all we had to say was "Here I am, there I go" and we would be teleported to their location. I have caught myself often thinking about those words, and what they would do for me if they actually worked. I would visit my mother, when I'm far from home I would visit my friends, and when I am apart from my husband, I would make sure we were together every night.
We all know however that these things are not possible, it would be on the same plain as The Doctor and his wondrous T.A.R.D.I.S. we just know that they are fun figments of imagination. So when I think about that particular ability, and the ability to be where my loved ones are, it brings me some kind of comfort, even if it is fleeting.
So, in case you were curious, that is the Origin of the name of my blog, wherever I am, I have found the ability to somehow be home.
